Abstract

We present a method to determine the dissipation energy of a controlled number of vortices flowing in a superconductor. The principle is to use a mixed sensor made of a large superconducting loop closed by a micron-size constriction coupled to a giant magnetoresistive sensor. The results obtained on niobium are in good agreement with the heat-transfer model developed in this report, which allows to determine accurately the dissipation energy of a vortex.
